Having engineering expertise is essential for a company like KAMAX. But it is just as important to transfer this know-how. Pepe Puchau has been managing this process in Museros for years and reports on his work.

Every day there was an operator who taught me something new, and I always felt the need to find a technical and scientific explanation. I am very grateful to the machine operators, for what I learned with them. Eventually, my work changed into a passion for cold heading. During these seven years I was able to develop the manufacturing system that is still in operation today. The standardization of bolts, processes and tooling design, and understanding the breakage of hard metal, was the most important challenge.

In 2014, the dual training of students was combined with the annual training of pressing, threading, die making and quality operators. We currently have 19 students at the training centre, who are educated in the operation of presses and threading machines. It is very gratifying and surprising for me to see how the students surpass themselves, and above all, to see the interest and motivation they show every day.

There is always more

31 years of experience have shown me that in order to train others, we should be able to answer all questions, and solve all technical problems. Nevertheless, I still have not managed to cope with all, because every day we face new challenges. But, isn’t this what makes the job more special and rewarding?

This whole project is possible thanks to the Technology team of Museros, because in addition to providing the training, we do all the engineering work that the plant needs. I would like to mention Fernando Manzanet, David Herreros, Diego Rodriguez, Kamilla Sakalosh and Miguel Solaz. We all have in common, our commitment to work and attitude, to start new challenges, collaborating with all those who need our collaboration.

We will remain always learning …
